Today Bush speaks about controlling costs and the tax and spend Dems
But, Mr President, how do you justify paying mercenaries like Blackwater 5 times what our American soldiers are payed? And how do you justify holding our military men and women to higher standards of accountability than the mercenaries?

How do you account for the fact that your government has been the biggest government, not in American history, but in the history of the world? And how do you account for the fact that it got that way BEFORE the Democratic victories of 2006?

Just curious...

2. Being conservative means
never having to make sense, to paraphrase a line from the movie "Love Story".

4. bush grants himself a moral authority which he does not have.
he dresses himself up in a false morality, like the false bravery he must hide inside a protective bubble meant for a coward; like the compassion he grants himself in speeches but quickly nullifies with his actions... like so much of the bush ethos and so many of the bush characters ... all is a false image, all is a pretend caring ... all is greed, power, and control for them...that is what life is based on for them along with the destruction of other people be it through words, or bullets and bombs.

5. I guess being a 'borrow and spend' Republican is better, at credit card rates. nt
